Mentors needed
I feel comfortable sharing information with, and cheering on, fellow parents. I am a mom, and I believe parents can be valuable resources to one another.
But I also hear a great deal from current and former eating disorder patients. Some are looking for help and support, some are reaching out to help others. This I feel far more cautious about. It seems presumptuous - and even enabling - for me to play that role for someone who deserves support in real life from family and friends.
But here is something helpful: my friend Shannon Cutts is recruiting mentors at her Key-to-Life site.
